I watched the first season. I thought it was interesting and well-produced. I have to confess that the sluggish pacing has dissuaded from me from watching any more than the first two episodes of the second season.

Same here. I've been watching the second season, but I'm a few episodes behind because I'm finding it to be a bit of a slog. The plots of the episodes so far (with one exception) haven't been very compelling to me, and I've had trouble maintaining interest. But I firmly believe in not yucking someone else's yum, so to the people who are enjoying it: I hope you keep enjoying it! 😄

Just watched S2 E8. It's so beautiful and by far my favorite episode. It's such a tangent from the direction the show seems to be going. A focused vignette on one individual contrasts from the frequent context switching. They stepped up the story telling.

My love for this episode was biased because I too have stood on those same Coral Pink sand dunes in a remote and isolated corner of Utah. Such an epic place almost no one has heard of.

I'm with you here. I've basically decided to just wait until the season is over and then i'll do a couple marathon sessions so I can stay in the moment. There's a lot to unpack each episode and sometimes I forget...

The whole "multiple timelines" theory is really interesting, and I've at moments wondered if that's what's going on. If this is the case, their approach to it has been pretty cryptic thus far and they'll have a lot of work to do in order to resolve all of these loose ends neatly.

I'm half expecting a sort of Lost situation where we're still left with a lot of big, unanswered questions when the series is over. But we'll see.

I also watched it a couple of days ago and I walked away pretty confused with all these multiple interweaving timelines. If anything it left me with more questions than answers, which is probably the point of the season finale: to keep you waiting and wondering until next season...

So Season 3 has started, I've only seen episode 1 so far but for those who watched the Season 2 finale will know the battle has entered the real world, which is quite a bit more advanced than our world.

Like many things on TV and the movies these days it turns out that the premise behind Westworld is not original, in 1973 the original Westworld movie appeared and featured some relatively big names of the time.

FWIW, do not watch Future World. It has a flimsy premise and the acting is horrible. The original Westworld movie was an intriguing concept that had some decent acting as well as great action sequences—especially Yul Brennar as a killer robot. I think seasons two and three of the television show Westworld are the natural sequels to the original film: several of the robots survive and escape to the real world.

However, if you’re in the mood for campy shlocky grade B 1970s sequels, Futureworld could be a fun film to watch with family or friends: perhaps preparing commentary in advance a la Mystery Science Theater.
